CoD: Modern Warfare 2 this holiday season

It seems that Activision CFO Thomas Tippl has said that forthcoming FPS Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is currently slated for a 2009 holiday season launch.
Tippl had this to say at a recent company meeting:
“Last year we had probably beaten most expert expectations by growing the Call of Duty franchise over the tremendous success that was the first iteration of Modern Warfare. For 2009, Modern Warfare is coming back, we expect it will be the most anticipated game of the year. Perhaps the number one game of the year despite the fact that it’s only going to launch in the holiday season…There is no doubt in my mind that it will again raise the bar for the shooter genre. The game is looking incredible and Infinity Ward, the studio that is developing it, is just doing an unbelievable job.”
So there you have it, Infinity Ward’s highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has officially been announced to be launching this holiday season. Sign me up!
